I love me some Vietnamese food. Mostly because it’s fresh made and in my mind much healthier than some other Asian foods that are typically deep fried. I prefer tasty veggies and fresh protein for me. Dalat definitely scored high on this.
A very unassuming location that one may pass many times without knowing it existed, however for those in the “know” it has a very good reputation and many fans. The atmosphere was minimal. A few tables and many patrons coming in picking up orders.
I had the Pork chop with Veggies and ginger (non menu item).
There’s nothing like a wonderful “chef’s special” to tease my tastebuds. Also, knowing that it is something “special.” It adds a bit of mystery to it.
In this case, my choice was on the mark. The dish is served with the veggies on the bottom and the pork on the top. I LOVE fresh cooked veggies that aren’t over cooked. Nothing worse than smushie veggies. My veggies still had all the flavor and a bit of crispiness to them. The pork was delish! Although sort of a misnomer about pork chop. I was expecting what I think of as a pork chop, sort of a large chop that we all know and love, however I was delightfully surprised when the plate came out and the pork was pre-cut into bite sized pieces! Melt in your mouth sized. Yummy! All that with an easy on the wallet price point.
I’ll definitely be back with friends to share in the tastiness!
